Following a flurry of sitcom cancellations, NBC has opted not to pick up the pilot for SNL writer/stand-up John Mulaney’s new sitcom Mulaney…I attended the pilot taping, and it was super funny, so it comes as a huge disappointment that NBC opted not to pick up the show. (Via)

OK, so no Mulaney. Boo. So, let’s do some network scheduling fan fiction: If Seth Meyers does in fact leave for late-night, here’s hoping Mulaney rejoins SNL and takes over as Weekend Update Anchor and Head Writer, which is something fans have wanted for years. It’s not a show of his own, but hey, it’s something.

Maaaaaaan. With them cancelling so much of their mediocre stuff, I’d hoped they were suddenly completely rational, but still not as much as we’d like, I guess. Oh well. Hope you’re right about that SNL scenario!

I fucking hate NBC!!!! They can never recognize when they have something worth watching and are just terrible judges of talent. I just recently started listening to John Mulaney and even for how young he is he is one of the funniest comedians out there today. Hope he takes his talents elsewhere and becomes a huge success.

Just wondering, has anyone actually seen the pilot? I mean I thought his stand up was pretty good but that doesn’t mean he can make a show worth watching. I get that I wouldn’t trust NBC for shit but if no one here has actually seen the pilot, than what the fuck do you know?

This seems like one of the dumbest decisions possible. If you’ve got a hot up and coming comedian signed up, you really shouldn’t screw it up like this. I really hope he goes on to make them regret it. Badly.
